Wow its been awhile since I've been on. Great work going on here.  Haven't had any bench time lately. Lots of outdoor projects and my tournament bass fishing season started.  Also just dropped $1800 on the wife's Trans Am

BYOOOTIFUL, John! Now she looks like a Stuka! I can't wait to get mine to that stage, but I'm still messing around with the cockpit and detail painting, while I plow on with birds for the Butcherbirds GB which ends in a few weeks...

Guys, really sweet work.

John, its great to see Rudels markings on, NICE.

Doug, good work there, looking forward to seeing what scheme you do. Is this one getting a base as well.

Johnny, good to see you back. I hope you treated yourself as well, maybe an $1,800 kit.

Hey Bish... Yup, Nothing real fancy but I think that (like you) it just kind of brings your work to life, kind of tells part of the story. Pics of camo coming up soon, I have the first phase done and am starting on the 2nd phase now,

Thanks, Doug

I know what you mean Doug. The thing with aircraft is that they tend to be kept on large open flat pieces of ground. Unless your doing them in a hanger or hidden in trees, there's not a great deal you can do with bases for aircraft. I try to liven them up sometimes with different scenes, but most of the time its pretty simple.

John, What kind of paints did you use?

I have Testors MM enamels and wasn't sure if it was correct or not. Here is a He111 I did with those paints.

Hey Ed. In the references that I have for everything up to mid-late 41 it was all 02 except for the IP which was 66 and after that was all 66.

The following pics are of the Ju-87 G-2 on displayat the Battle of Britain Museum in London. This one being a later model Stuka is all decked out in 66. Hope all this helps, Joe

No problem at all. That's part of why we're all here to help each other and enjoy the hobby. Looking forward to seeing both of you guys builds.

Yup, I used MM enamels for the stuka,  I've been using a testers clear gloss that is a acrylic just for air brushes and a MM acrylic clear flat when I'm done.

Excellent work John!  How'd you like to do my canopy?Smile

Thanks Reasoned.

    It's a labor of insanity, especially when the framing on the canopy isn't very well defined,  then trying to look through the tape and cut the frame out correctly.   Sorry I used up all my canopy masking credits for this build! Oops  But  a new #11 for every time I do a canopy works wonders. Big Smile

Joe, are those pics from the Areo details book, they are really good. Is it me, or does that 66 have a blue tint to it.

Interior pics are great; thanks for posting. Looking at them makes me think it couldn't have been comfortable for the Bordfunker on a long flight; my back would be killing me. John, that build is fantastic looks like it just got off the assembly line at Junkers.

Reasoned, just wondering as I looked at your avatar, is your real name Stewart Copeland?

Do they work straight from the bottle or do you have to thin it? The only luck I've using their acrylic is with Tamiya thinner.

Morning all... I stayed up till about 2am this morning trying to get the camo scheme done... I should have knowh better then to have sat down and picked up the AB. But, any way, I think I got it like I wanted. It came out like I had pictured. Sooo here they are...

All the brown is done, next I'm starting on the green...

Camo pattern done and clear coat applied...I saw the picture of this one hanging in the History of aviation museum and had to try the paint scheme... Its different thats for sure, But I like the way it came out. Decals and wash next!

Thanks
